LANSING, Mich. – A grassroots group is working to bring ranked choice voting to Michigan. The organization Rank MI Vote recently launched a statewide petition campaign aiming to place the initiative on the November 2026 ballot.
Voters get more voice in the process
“Right now, voters lose power if there are more than two candidates,” said Pat Zabawa, executive director of Rank MI Vote. “Ranked choice voting ensures that a winning candidate has majority support. That means more candidates can step forward, and voters get more voice in the process.”
“We’re a campaign of Michiganders for Michigan,” Zabawa said. “It’s exciting to see people walk up to us and say, ‘You’re working to make our state better, I want to sign.’”
